The location was very central to the main areas of Catania. Access to the accommodation was via an old lift or four flights of stairs. The size of the room was huge, as was the spa bath, which was also very relaxing. The staff were very helpful and responsive. An air conditioning issue we encountered on a Sunday was fixed immediately. I would recommend this accommodation.

We had a lovely time. Staff was very helpful. Conveniently located, very walkable area, for shopping, sights and dining. The only negative was, the bed frame extended beyond the mattress and was a constant problem as we kept smashing our knees into it.

Great, safe stay for solo traveller.

The staff at the Palazzo Bruca were incredible! They were very accommodating for an earlier check in and to assist with securing me transport for a very early morning flight to Rome. The room was clean and comfortable. Access in felt safe after hours. The location was perfect in the town centre with easy access to all the historical sights and tour companies. Highly recommend!

It was a great property and surprisingly offered private parking in the middle of the busy city! (There isn’t real clear signage on the street, be aware you have to look for a big black metal gate to enter the property.) We were able to walk everywhere and the piazza and sights were SO close. We had a big jacuzzi tub, beautifully painted high ceilings, and the bed was comfortable. We definitely recommend, especially if you’re coming off a long flight into the Catania airport.

We stayed for 2 nights because of the airport. The hotel is in the center of Catania, it is clean good value for the money Did not have breakfast many restaurants and shopping around the hotel. the center is dirty and full of graffiti, we did get an upgrade to the second floor because they could not find our reservation (much bigger room) . This is more like and bed and breakfast.

The staff was very helpful and lovely, the room was clean and comfortable. The location was great, close to the Duomo area and lots of cafes. The only suggestion I have is for some towel bars or hooks. There were zero options to hang a damp towel, no bars, hooks, or racks. We hung them like a cape on a hanger in the armoire which wasn't ideal, but the only option.

Pia

Liked: Staff & service
The gate getting into the property was not so obvious from the street took some time to find it . Getting into the gate was fine once you located it . The entrance into the building was sketchy to say the least , once you get over that part of it and get upstairs to the apt it was fine . The girl was sitting at the desk as you enter the B and B. There are approx . 6 rooms and each room is for other guests . The room was fairly clean but the worst was the mattresses they literally had huge indents in them and very difficult to sleep . I recommend the owners change the mattresses if they don't want complaints . The bottom left side of the shower had a leak and the water has damaged the trim around the door , it was black and mouldy . Other then these couple of things the place was adequate for the 1 nite stay that I had to stay in Catania. Its location is very close to the Main Street which is convenient.
